JScript to imitate CTRL-N ?

[toolkit]

In IE, pressing CTRL-N creates a new window, containing the same contents as the old window.
Does anyone know how to perform this in JScript?
Thanks, Neil

First of all, it happens only in IE. Other browsers (Mozilla, Opera - depending on it's settings) just opens a blank window.
It's rather easy to achieve what you want:

function loadNew()
{
url = location.href;
window.open(url,"","&quot
}

<a href=&quot;#&quot; onclick=&quot;loadNew()&quot;>CTRL+N emulation</a>

Unfortunately not so simple for:
[1] Frames. My link is in a sub frame.
[2] Dynamically written content.
I tried something like:

<input ... onclick=&quot;window.open(top.location.href,'_blank');&quot;>

This didn't work :-( What I would really like is:

<input ... onclick=&quot;top.clone()&quot;>

Anyone??

Well, you didn't tell anything about additional requirements at the beginning.
In case of frames, do this:
url = parent.frame_name.location.href; - for particular frame,
And top.location.href - for entire frameset - should work as well, I really don't see any problem here.

Placing &quot;_blank&quot; at the 2nd parameter of window.open() is an error. It is valid only for <a href> targeting.

Thanks for the advice Starway Unfortunately I have tried all the techniques you suggest already, to no avail

try this :
function loadNew()
{
url = top.location.href;
MyWin = window.open(url,&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;
MyWin.focus();
}

<a href=&quot;javascript:loadNew()&quot;>CTRL+N emulation</a>

Thanks for all the suggestions . However, I have already tried top.location.href, as well as many others. The problem is that my top frame is generated dynamically by another window. What I have finally decided to try is:

[1] A button that stays dimmed until the top window is fully generated (that is, all the frames are rendered)
[2] Then somehow copy the rendered DOM document structure across using DocumentFragment, and Node methods....
